Are you sure you're providing a valid connection string property? The latest source code contains this code:
// Sadly, your connection string is bad. ErrorHandler.Error("Could not open database connection [" + resolvedConnectionString + "]. Connection string context [" + connectionStringContext + "].", e); which seems to match your error message. Can you paste your appender node to the list? ________________________________ From: Gary Cooper <lewd_revel...@yahoo.co.uk> To: Log4NET User <log4net-user@logging.apache.org> Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2009 4:57:14 PM Subject: Re: Key cannot be null error Thanks for your replies Karim & Radovan. I have attempted to track down the problem with the log4net source, but this doesnt seem to have yielded much success. I am thinking that this could possibly be an error with MySql connector as opposed to log4net, after all this doesnt seem to be happening with SQL Server or Oracle (or at least it isnt being reported). Karim, I think I followed your example on DevShed concerning this setup, I would like to thankyou for putting that together and I look forward to reading your blog article on this, I hope one of us will be able to overcome this problem - unfortunately, I dont have access to another DB to test this out on, but it would be nice to hear back from someone using the same code with Oracle or SQL Server. ________________________________ From: Karim Bourouba <kar...@hotmail.com> To: log4net-user@logging.apache.org Sent: Thursday, 21 May, 2009 11:52:56 Subject: RE: Key cannot be null error Hi Radovan, thats a great idea, I will give it a go and report back.

Now you'll be able to debug inside of AdonetAppender and you can find what exactly is null and guess the correct value, I hope.

I definitely get the same error as you. Can I ask if you are using MySql at all? Unfortunately though, I havent had any luck with asking this question on this list, it would appear that the list is not as busy as I thought it initially was, or the other subscribers are unable to comment. To help you with your problem, if it isnt the same as mine, would be to post your code on the list itself. That gives everyone the chance to take a look and see if they can spot the issue. If you do have the same problem as me, could you post your solution should you fix it? That way others, including myself will be able to resolve this in future. ________________________________ Date: Wed, 20 May 2009 22:02:14 +0000 From: lewd_revel...@yahoo.co.uk Subject: Key cannot be null error To: log4net-user@logging.apache.org Hello, Could someone explain to me what the following error means please? log4net:ERROR [AdoNetAppender] Could not open database connection [] System.ArgumentNullException: Key cannot be null. Parameter name: key I encounter this error when trying to log to my database. The rows are updated, but I get this message pop up on the console. I dont know how busy this list is, but I would really appreciate it if someone could lend a hand. TIA ________________________________ Share your photos with Windows Live Photos - Free.
